Cross product of 2 vectors

A mathematical operation that calculates a vector that is perpendicular to the plane formed by two given vectors in three-dimensional space. The magnitude of the cross product is equal to the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors multiplied by the sine of the angle between them, and the direction is determined by the right-hand rule. Used in vector calculus, physics, and engineering for applications such as calculating torque, finding normal vectors, and determining area and volume. View Solution Guide
